Grave Statement

I was with Ma at her bank. The customer service rep was helping us negotiate some paperwork. Ma was extolling the virtues of both the customer service rep and myself.

"I hope you don't die before me," Ma said turning to me. "I don't know what I'd do without you."

I think I finally understand the expression "a goose just walked across my grave."
